Abstract

This invention encompasses teaching kits for mathematics and a set of cooperating cards for use with the kits. A single surface displaying manipulable elements arranged on the surface is used to teach concepts of counting denominate units and evaluating expressions. Two surfaces displaying manipulable elements arranged on each surface simulate a linear equation.
Four surfaces displaying manipulable elements arranged on each surface simulate a system of two linear equations. The elements are distinguishable by physical features in such a way that typically as many as three distinct denominate units are displayed with both positive and negative representations. The invention can be extended, in general, to a system of n equations, with 2n surfaces. Certain elements mask the occurrence of other elements in such a way as to simulate a variable in an equation. The cards serve to provide information for utilizing the boards and also can be employed by themselves. By manipulating elements a student is taught, in a very concrete and tangible fashion, the strategies necessary to count an array, solve a linear equation, or solve a system of two or more linear equations.
